FAQ
Q: My board uses UTF-8 or another nonstandard charset how can i fix this?
A: because UTF-8 is not vBulletin's default charset the data is incorrectly displayed. The fastest way to fix this is to open your admin panel select "Languages and Phrases" then Language Manager. Now hit edit settings on the language you are using and 7 options down you will see "HTML Character Set" change this to UTF-8 (default is ISO-8859-1).

Q: GCBOS always says loading how can i fix this?
A: The header include hooks is either missing or not working simply view your pages source and check if you can see gcbos.js if you cant please re-read the installation instructions and make sure all the steps have been followed.

Q: My host uses PHP 5.3 or above how do i make GCBOS work?
A: It should work by default (GCBOS sets 'allow_call_time_pass_reference' to on at runtime) if this doesnt work consult your host

Support
If you encounter any bugs please post as much detail as possible to help me find a solution this includes SQL errors and screen shots if you are not comfortable posting the error please PM me.

Not sure why, but when people submit a message it shows all the code. For example:

#/delmessage]23/30/User/pm]>It shows the code/edit]/message]

is what shows

[MalluParadise]

Can u add smiles ,Bold ,Italic , color and Font option

[MyChemicalSelf]

I have never seen this before can you post a screen shot/ a link to thesite so I can take a look? If it's what I think it is it's a feature as the original developer intended it to be a command line system.

Can u add smiles ,Bold ,Italic , color and Font option

I plan on adding a font option later today, but if people encounter bugs i will fix those first :) I beloved smilies work though but there is not an editor to show them as of yet.

This site realy needs a mobile style >_>

[Vackrick]

it keep saying loading...

[gothicuser]

What an eye opener. This is really nice, thankyou very much :D

[sematopdemir]

Thanks

[Kolbi]

How much ressources does your chat system need?

[MyChemicalSelf]

How much ressources does your chat system need?

From what I remember not that much, the original developer used it on a rather large site with no noticeable changes.

@above if it still shows loading you need to add the hook to headinclude.

[abdobasha2004]

reserved
it was very popular for 3.8
I expect also for vb4

[Vackrick]

Hey when i install the shoutbox it wrking fine the install when smoothly

when i go forum home see the shoutbox

it give me loading...

[Alucard^]

I can't found the version for 3.8, someone can give me the link? or is a private addon?

[MyChemicalSelf]

GSBOS the predecesor was released here or if you check the google code page (it's linked in the first post) you can find GCBOS for 3.8



About the font editor etc, i have an idea of how to code it but how would you like me to lay it out? Eg: B, U, I / Color picker in the notice bar or?



Update
Uploaded 0.6.4 fixes the who's online location issue.


Not sure why, but when people submit a message it shows all the code. For example:

#/delmessage]23/30/User/pm]>It shows the code/edit]/message]

is what shows

Coming back to this you mean when you edit a message the input box shows /edit <message_id> <message_body> and delete shows /delete <message_id> ? If so this is an intended feature of the original developer as this is ment to be a command line system like IRC (ish).

[macheath]

Looks very nice, tagged.

[meissenation]

Thank you for taking time to make this. I really am interested in the IRC functionality that you have planned.

"#20/23/bigahega> türkçe karakter yok "

Something wrong with UTF-8?

[MyChemicalSelf]

"#20/23/bigahega> türkçe karakter yok "

Should be fine what language are you using? I have a hunch what it might be though.

[milaszewski]

what code should be put into a HTML widget in order to have the chat as a widget?

I will take a look into this later should be rather easy :)



About UTF8 Support i have replicated the problem and i will work on finding a fix.

[Kocuce]

I'm using Turkish.

As far as you've managed to replicate, I'm waiting the fix then :p

Added FAQ to first post. Some time tomorrow i will be uploading a fix to gcbos.js this simply reduces the amount of AJAX requests made to the server and should make this more suitable for larger boards. The difference is not visible but will reduce server load when it counts.

[Kocuce]

Default charset was ISO-8859-9 here. When I change it to UTF-8, yes as you've said it works but everything except the chat breaks down. You can see it in the attachment.

I shall have a look on my test board sorry for the inconvenience. How odd seems to work for me, do you know what the collation of your database is? As that's the only thing i can see it being.

Nema problema. I hope you can find another fix.

I've looked to my tables and they are utf8_general_ci.

[MyChemicalSelf]

seems to work for me using some turkish i found on the net (i have my sql server set to UTF-8 aswell as boards). Im currently out of ideas towards this i shall ask around a few people i know who might have an answer :)

[Kocuce]

Interesting it really looks fine from your images but not like here. There is nothing to do but waiting then.

[cjwzx2]

I've found that using this chatbox inside a style breaks IE rendering on pages the chatbox is displayed on. Renders fine in Chrome & FireFox. What's the deal?

I cant test on IE as i have no windows machine 8-) and the general vBulletin style hardly work on IE atm. Last time my testers used it IE reported fine what exactly is the error. If youc an provide a screen shot that would help :)

It basically looks like a blank page. I haven't had a change to look through the GCBOS template but I'm wondering if we don't have an open tag or something. Here's a SS:
http://pics.fullavit.com/vb_bugs/ss1.png
http://pics.fullavit.com/vb_bugs/ss2.png

Basically, nothing of the page renders right, it's empty til the footer information. If I do a view source, the source is there...

If GCBOS is installed correctly it only hooks just under the text that on your site says Welcome to teamzxq.com so from that it looks like either a vB error or another addon your using.

It doesn't matter where I put the hook, it does it no matter what on any IE version. The only other plugin installed is the uCash plugin, and I highly doubt it's the cause, it doesn't touch those templates.

One of my mates has just tested it and it seems fine (just no rounded edges). Uploading screens now :)

[cjwzx2]

Weird... back to the drawing board.

[David Regimbal]

I'm using the English language. It's not when I edit a message, though when someone posts a message that it appears like this:

#/delmessage]00/06/user/pm]>my text i posted/edit]/message]

When posted and after refreshing the page, the already posted comments take a while to appear, like its almost writing what was posted.

[MyChemicalSelf]

How odd have you tried upgrading to a newer version? I havent seen anything like it before on IIS or Apache (localhost and production server). And did it occour before or after template edits (i think its been edited) ;P

[David Regimbal]

I have not made any template edits to the mod. Though, I have changed the colors of the forum from white to another color. Here are my specs:

Server Type: Linux
Web Server: Apache (cgi)
PHP 5.2.11
PHP Max Post Size: 8.00 MB
PHP Maximum Upload Size: 100.00 MB
PHP Memory Limit: 128.00 MB
MySQL Version: 5.0.81-community-log
MySQL Packet Size: 1.00 MB

I have updated to your latest version.

How odd virtually identical to my setup, only thing i can think of the file has gone corrupt during the upload but i doubt it would happen two installs in a row.

[David Regimbal]

Does it need its own language file? I know chat things I used in the past required an overwrite of the current language file.

Nah not at all it adds a few phrases and thats it :)

I updated to your latest version. I checked your template GCBOS and you're not closing the <table> tag, that's why my IE sessions are freaking out. After I terminate it I no longer get a huge blank screen, but in IE the chatbox still doesn't render (but at least the rest of the page does).

Ideas? I mean... this is every single IE install on multiple machines, and I have no other VB plugins enabled. If you need a Windows box to test on, I can set up a VM for you if you like.

[AzzidReign]

Thank you for this!

Ah hadn't thought of a broken tag, I will take a look at it when I get home.

[kapii]

Bit of a problem... I don't know if anyone else has it or not... Should be minor, if I knew where to look... :)

When text is entered for chat, the results are:

#02/37/<span style="font:; color: #FF0000;">Admin</font>> Test

Any ideas for the remedy this?

Thanks

I think that is how you have set up your usergroup markup as mine works perfectly
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Jordan</span> is what is displaying for me. (in the source).

[MyChemicalSelf]

Issues with IE6 should be fixed by this release if there are still issues please provide as much information as possible. I have also changed the ammount of requests made to help make the server footprint smaller.

[cjwzx2]

I'm still saddened to say that the default GCBOS template provided doesn't close <table> tag, so I have to close it myself. Also saddened to say that even though it now works in IE8, it doesn't work in IE6/7. I don't even get an error message, it simply doesn't render...

[VonDoom]

Thanks. Its great to see a chat solution so early in the beta.

[Alucard^]

GSBOS the predecesor was released here or if you check the google code page (it's linked in the first post) you can find GCBOS for 3.8

Thx, but i have a problem... is there any support of this version? (for 3.8.x) cuz the chatbox doesn't appear in my forum... i tried with:

-Step 4
--Open the acp once again for GCBOS to display you need to add two template hooks first open headinclude and scroll to the bottom.
--Add "{vb:raw template_hook.headinclude}" (without the quotes to the end of the template save the template. Next open FORUMHOME
--and search for "<!-- /main -->" (without the quotes and add "{vb:raw template_hook.gcbos_display}" above (without the quotes)
--gcbos can be displayed on any page with this hook in ("{vb:raw template_hook.gcbos_display}").

But without results, i think this step is for vb4, right?

I don't know how to display the chatbox, is there any variable or something that i have to use in a template?

I don't know how the table tag was left in from vB3 just remove it completly the new template should fix it :) and I will try to test on ie6 today but I can't prommise much

[Marv]

Just a suggestion: but wouldnt that be a neat widget for the content.php sidebar ?

That table tag is the trouble maker. Seems to be working well on IE7/8 now with that table tag completely removed. Will be checking on 6 as soon as I get a user report.

[MyChemicalSelf]

Just a suggestion: but wouldnt that be a neat widget for the content.php sidebar ?

I was working on one last night before my active directory died, having to reinstall my server and possibly machines later.

Greetings,


Nice Mod and I think, this would be the Chatbox for my Users in vb4.



basicly, it seems to work fine, but........................



I got a little Problem:

Every Post in the Box will be displayed twice:
the first one directly after clicking the Submit! - Button,

after 2 seconds without doing anything the text appears once again.

:confused:

Does anybody know how this could happens?

I remember this from along time ago basically its to do with lag between the server and your machine so it detects that you havent recived that message id and sends it again.

[PeterXP]

Many thanks for your quick reply, even the answer was not i hoped for :D



Anyway, I will see how it works when the server not seems to be busy.....

Problem I have is I tried putting the chatbox below the nav bar (and below the forums actually) and for some reason the bottom of the forum (the contact us | admin etc) went all funny - how do I fix this?

[PatrickBo]

Is there any way to limit what usergroups can use the commands?

[DJ29Joesph]

Problem I have is I tried putting the chatbox below the nav bar (and below the forums actually) and for some reason the bottom of the forum (the contact us | admin etc) went all funny - how do I fix this?

I see this also... infact, where ever you put it, it cuts that bar off.

[Matt.AU]

Installed. Great work :D

[elwachiman]

I installed it and did not work was alone in charging that went wrong was not follow the steps in the installation, enable the respective permits and nothing worked, annex file photo ..

if you have a suggestion about Please let me know thank you very much to do, I really want to install this chat.

[maximutt]

Just tried installing to a vB4 Beta 4 installation and the shoutbox does not seem to be working. I followed the instructions exactly.

I have the box showing up on FORUMHOME but it just sits there blank and with no Notice or Loading text. Typing anything in doesn't do anything.

Please advise.

[Knightmane]

-0.6.4
--Fixed Who's online location

-0.6.5
--Fixed a HTML issue that caused issues on some browsers (un needed table tag, unsure how it got left in)
--Fixed an extra tag in enlarge or shrink options
--Reduced the amount of AJAX requests made

Don't know if anyone else has noticed this, but the who's online location in 0.6.5 shows the chatbox as the current location when they are obviously not on that page.

Also, is there a way to make the Chatbox appear on a page other than the forum home, say... in the member's list or some other out of the way location? For our forum, the forumhome is not the best place for the Chatbox due to a page loading issue connected with how our server reacts to the script involved in this mod.

Is the file gcbos.js in the /clientscript/ folder? Make sure it's gcbos.js and not gcbos_DECOMPRESSED.js. If it is gcbos_DECOMPRESSED.js, rename it to gcbos.js.

[MyChemicalSelf]

Testing on Beta 4 now, been having internet issues sorry for the lack of updates.

Edit:
Works fully with vB4 no edits required (to current code). Install exactly the same way.

[VonDoom]

Ive installed this 10 ways from sunday never had a problem getting it to work properly but it always appears under the forums no matter what i do. i just cant get it to appear above the forums. Any ideas?

[Charlie98902]

Can you set this in the settings to not allow guests & banned users and such?

[MyChemicalSelf]

@above It's the hook location I experimeted with it and thought that was the best place.

Can you set this in the settings to not allow guests & banned users and such?

Yes of course

[Delazar]

Hello,

there are only problems with IE8, safari and FF goes.

[kapii]

Got a question...

Is there any way you could make the time format so that it shows "08:16AM <Someone>", instead of "#08/16/Someone>", and possibly add the date like the other chatboxes do? People are mistaking the time as the date... It's very confusing for them...

Thanks! :)

[Fr4n-FX]

I dont like the delay of a typewriter, a way to remove it?

[MikesSite]

This looks good, I'm real glad to see this!!

Thanks.

[anuanu]

Everything seems to work fine. Look at my attached images as other people are having this issue also.

One is before its installed and the other is after its installed.

[pertiga]

It is a certain in ie8 does not work, only a hollow goes out in target

[Baf_Jams]

I cant get it to work with Ie8 if i switch to Firefox then works but hangs on loading
Any ideas ?

I have followed instructions to a T and I can't even get it to display.....

[crazyace]

Anyway to have this at the top of the forums and not the bottom?

[crazyace]

I fixed my issue. You need to place {vb:raw template_hook.gcbos_display} right after <!-- main --> to have it at the top. If you place it just above <!-- /main --> then it will be at the bottom.

[Pumpo]

Anyway to have this at the top of the forums and not the bottom?


nvm he solved it himself :D

[crazyace]

Thanks for your reply Pumpo :-) Sorry didn't see your post before mine was done lol

[Baf_Jams]

Is the file gcbos.js in the /clientscript/ folder? Make sure it's gcbos.js and not gcbos_DECOMPRESSED.js. If it is gcbos_DECOMPRESSED.js, rename it to gcbos.js.



Took some reading but found this
This stopped mine from saying loading :) thnx :up:

[navajotex?]

I use infernoschout with VB4 and it 'ok a real gem

[SİMAR]

[Baf_Jams]

Got a question...

Is there any way you could make the time format so that it shows "08:16AM <Someone>", instead of "#08/16/Someone>", and possibly add the date like the other chatboxes do? People are mistaking the time as the date... It's very confusing for them...

Thanks! :)
it will be in class_gcbos.php i will get round to posting an example edit later

I dont like the delay of a typewriter, a way to remove it?
Settings->GCBOS->Timer/Interval or w/e its called.

Im still having internet issues so i cant develop as much as i want i hope to get some work done asap.

Also this is the #1 viewed vB4 mod at the current time!

[crazyace]

Settings->GCBOS->Timer/Interval or w/e its called.


I didn't see any kind of option like this.

[Baf_Jams]

In mine i adjusted the

Settings->GCBOS->Message delay spam score to 0

[crazyace]

Didn't do anything for me.

[Charlie98902]

Me neither but show the loading...... Yes I changed that one .js file as needed. Plus it removed my contact us to the bottom left from the right. Then it removed my stylvar options I set for that too. Plus it showed on the top and bottom and I did according to the instructions. I am on beta 4 not sure if that's the issue.

[garretbyrne]

Can you add this to a static page instead of the main page on the forum?

[MyChemicalSelf]

Did you edit headinclude?

@above you should be able to if it calls global_start :)

[absy]

installs ok but i just get loading..... int the text box......and thats it

[CFodder]

Have installed it but strangely nothing appears at all!! :o. Followed all the instructions so not sure what's happened.

However will still follow this and hopefully get it to work at some stage :).

[sean-zigster]

Hi I installed but all i get is this over and over again

Warning: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated; If you would like to pass it by reference, modify the declaration of [runtime function name](). If you would like to enable call-time pass-by-reference, you can set allow_call_time_pass_reference to true in your INI file in /home/fhlinux128/e/eacichlid.co.uk/user/htdocs/test/gcbos.php on line 51

any help please

[Asdrubael]

MyChemicalSelf - NICE WORK! But one thing is really pissing me (and my community) off: The way messages are displayed when you enter the Chatbox. Its like someone is typing everything in first. Is there no way to get around it? :/

[MyChemicalSelf]

installs ok but i just get loading..... int the text box......and thats it

You are either didnt upload the clientscript files or didnt edit headinclude.

[sean-zigster]

anyone ?

Have fixed this now with a little code rewrite

[Prorockz]

when any user received any pm why it is show on GCBOS . how can i disable it

like

#14/57/GCBOS/Admin> You have just received a new private message from Rockz entitled 'test'.
#14/59/GCBOS/Rockz> You have just received a new private message from Admin entitled 'Re: test'.

[MyChemicalSelf]

anyone ?

I will post a fix later once I get home should be easy to fix :)

try this adding this to the top of gcbos.php:

if (!ini_get('allow_call_time_pass_reference')) {
ini_set('allow_call_time_pass_reference', true);
}


and that should fix it 8)

when any user received any pm why it is show on GCBOS . how can i disable it

like

#14/57/GCBOS/Admin> You have just received a new private message from Rockz entitled 'test'.
#14/59/GCBOS/Rockz> You have just received a new private message from Admin entitled 'Re: test'.
try disabling the PM hook :)

Did you follow the instructions fully? and what browser are you using :)

[goroush]

IE8

I added the line to the headerincl and the line to the FORUMHOME and all of the files got uploaeded. did i miss something. using vb 4.0 beta 4

Hi. Just installed 0.6.5 on vB4Beta5 and on the front page I have:
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in [path]/includes/functions.php on line 4644
Ideas?
*edit*
I guess this is the guilty line?
foreach ($_FIELDNAMES AS $field => $bitvalue)

[Matais]

Settings->GCBOS->Timer/Interval or w/e its called.


There is not an option there, anything like that.

Is there another way to get rid of the type writer effect?

I will take a look at vB4 Beta 5 later should be easy to fix.

Very nice, thanks in advance! :up:

[TheMayhem]

Like others, I am suffering from the error:
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in [path]/includes/functions.php on line 4644
However, it is only occuring on my CMS page.


I actually like the typewriter effect. The only thing I really dislike about this hack besides the little glitch, which I'm sure will be fixed is the date format needs to be addressed as an Admin CP setting option as it currently looks horrible. Everything else with this chatbox is extremely well done just please fix the date/time issue :)

[joe.miklich]

Installed, box shows up at bottom of forums (which is weird) couldn't get it to show up top.

But also its just white, flashes loading, then you type and nothing, dead.

Not sure what to do.

[JaredMarino]

Step 3 is a bit too vague. What exactly is the proccess after I'm in Usergroup Managemer?
I've done the rest of the steps, however.

I also seem to get the line error.

For anyone looking, line 4664 of functions.php is
"* @param boolean If true, returns combined usergroup permissions, individual forum permissions, individual calendar permissions and attachment permissions"

Just took a look at the reported vB5 bug and i have failed to reproduce it in my test environments, i am in the middle of packaging 0.6.6 so all i can suggest is updating to this.

-0.6.6
--Fixed an issues with PHP 5.3

[gothicuser]

Many thanks for the update, but I'm afraid the error is still there.
On the 'Home' (CMS) page it displays:

Just so you know, I have NO other mods or styles installed. Bog-standard vb4 Beta5.
PHP 5.3
Apache 2.2.13
MySQL 5.0.83
Linux CentOS

p.s. if you need admin to see for yourself, you're more than welcome, just PM me.

[crazyace]

It still doesn't work in IE7. When viewing it in IE7, it makes the whole page blank. I still have my header and links at the top, but the forum its self is blank. In FF it works fine :-)

Also just wanted to add. I am still on 4.0 Beta 4. Also I have been told that it works in IE8 but not 6 or 7. In FF my Contact Us, Admin, Mod, Archive, Top links at the bottom are all jacked up. They show down at the bottom left.

[tjfinn7]

i think all have the same error also it mess the style up it all over the place

Im not sure whats interfering with the CMS since this doesnt touch it in the slightest. I might try adjusting the hook location to see if thats fixes it. Can some one with this issues try uninstallaing GCBOS and reuploading all of the files followed by a reinstall. I just want to see if the installer is missing something 8-]

I managed to reproduce this on one of my test sites i think it was due to a damaged template, let me check the XML is correct :)

Released 0.6.6 PL1; This is a maintance release that contains a fix to the GCBOS template that causes issues in older versions of Internet Explorer.

Can some one running GCBOS who is experiencing the error:

Please link me to their site either by private message, so that i can try to find a fix?

I have un-installed, but the un-install does not remove the error, not even if you dont re-install, Im not sure what is causing it, but the shout box works fine on the forum page, but for some reason it generates that error on top of CMS page. I have re-installed and error still exists.

[MyChemicalSelf]

Thanks to a few members for linking me to their sites i have managed to fix the error with the CMS, i have applied the fix to one members site and im currently compiling a package now give me 1-2 hours to test etc and make sure nothing has slipped through the net.

To fix the issue with vBulletin CMS i have altered GCBOS to hook forumhome_start, to add this to more pages you will need to add additional hooks (this will be explained later today and i will most probably provide the hooks in future updates.) This release also fixed the depreciated messages with PHP 5.3

[Giray]

Thanks. For me it 0.6.7 fixed the CMS issue but now I have the 'loading' issue... hmm...

[sean-zigster]

Great Fixed my CMS issue and my Call-time pass-by-reference issue but i do now hang at loading !

When I updated to 6.7 it caused it to look strange in FF. It looks fine in IE8 but now I get the loading issue also. It would work in FF and IE8 just fine before the update. I can't test it in IE6/7 but can't remember the website that will let you launch a virtual browser... If I could remember the site I will share it with everyone.

Please help test GCBOS 0.6.9, This version has support for vB4 RC2 and has some minor tweaks for speed and efficiency. To help test please visit here: http://www.otaku-studios.com/forum.php *i am not the owner of this site*

[LPH2004]

Is there a way to fix the style issue? Are you aware of the issue in RC2?

I cannot enable sidebars under RC2 because the chatbox causes problems. I can disable the chatbox and the sidebars show properly. If I enable the sidebars and chatbox then the sidebars are covered by the forums.

Hope this helps.

[MyChemicalSelf]

This is fixed in the next release and i have reduced the requests made further :)

Excellent. I look forward to the fixes. My members were upset with this box compared to MGC but are starting to enjoy themselves. Their only complaint right now is not being able to make changes to their fonts, etc permanent - or at least a button to push. ;)

that likely is or can be done so that issues and answers posted by the users are reflected in chat or at least to be seen chatting globally

[Ozymandyus]

I've installed the 0.6.9 version and find the new rendering to be a lot more desirable, thank you MyChemicalSelf. I'm messing around with the new CMS and think that this mod would be excellent as a widget there, but I'm not having any luck getting it to work. The hook works fine on the main forums page, but I must not be placing it right or configuring it right as a widget.

Could you let me know if creating a widget out of this, what type should it be, and how do I get the GCBOS window to display properly in it?

[LPH2004]

still loading for me
Nothing

Mine still says "Loading..." as well.

[Bigstack]

Loading problem.

[TheMayhem]

My upgrade worked great. Thanks for the continued support you've been giving with this product. The only addon/change I really feel it needs is a widget creation for the CMS system to allow for communication on your CMS pages.

Or try disabling the hacks you have installed plug-ins, and then review individually each and discard TO CREATE CONFLICTS WITH CHAT CHAT WHEN INSTALLING THE SAME PROBLEM WAS ONLY uninstall the hacks and fix the problem, if you have installed TOP POSTER, VISITORS LAST 24 HOURS ,LAST ALBUM RANDOM PICTURES AND HIDE ALL CONFLICT CREATE THESE AND THE CHAT IS NOT SHOWN, IT IS A RECOMMENDATION SALUDOS

[Giray]

For me it still says 'Loading' but I managed a workaround, disabling Members who have Visited 4.0.0.22 and New Album Picture Forum Home.
Other ideas?

Thank you very much for your help, it appears it was "VISITORS LAST 24 HOURS". I disabled it and everything worked instantly.

Is this a problem with that mod or this mod? Meaning if all of these mods cause this to not work, it would seem this mod has the problem? Not a big deal at the moment but the more mods that are released, the higher the odds are that one of those are going to be very popular.

Anyway, thanks again!

Hi

If you are using PHP 5.3 i will be releasing a fix in the next few days, howver you could try adding:

if (ini_get('allow_call_time_pass_reference') != 'On') ini_set('allow_call_time_pass_reference', 'On'); to gcbos.php and class_gcbos.php :)

[macc]

[MyChemicalSelf]

Im not sure why it would cause issues with other modification, did this start with the newest version or has it been a persistent error>

[macc]

This started with new version ..before i had not that product "who has visited..."

[sean-zigster]

ok on line 51 of the gcbos.php i removed in red

elseif ((!$gcbos->perform_command($message, &$result)) && (!$gcbos->has_effect(GCBOS_EFFECT_MUTE)))


Line 125 of the class_gcbos.php i remove in red
$done = call_user_func($command['function'], $this, $command, $params, $message, &$output);

That has now stoped the error message

[sean-zigster]

[crazyace]

[vsavin]

[Trek]

why don't i see the GCBOS Administration page in ADMINCP?

I had this problem as well, so I just reimported the product and it worked. No idea other than that.

[technishawn]

also how do you change the name of the shoutbox from GCBOS

GCBOS style template

look for


<span class="forumtitle" style="padding-left:8px">GCBOS</span>

and change it.....

[MyChemicalSelf]

The header include hook script tag is missing the type attribute. It should be: <script src="clientscript/gcbos.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

Your doing very well on the continued support and releases. Keep up the good work and I guarentee this will be the top shoutbox once gold is released :)

That would allow easy placement in a widget, which would be highly desirable. Eagerly awaiting this new function!

[bart6767]

I cant find this in FORUMHOME
"<!-- main -->"

Im useing RC2 ?

I would leave it for now i will be realeasing a quick fix for 0.6.9 some time today.

set it at the end of the head include template

That would cause the JS to be inserted twice ;P no need for that now.

Anyway planned features for 0.7:
-Setting to select instant / typed messages
-Shoutbox name will use a phrase for easy editing
-New topic alerts - can be disabled on a global and per forum basis
-New topic reply alerts - can be disabled on a global and per forum basis
-Detached Shoutbox (full page)
-New method of embedding
-Message style options
-More PHP 5.3 fixes (yes i managed to replicated one of the errors and fixed it for the next release)
-Maybe some new commands (Not confirmed)
-Maybe a CMS Widget (Not confirmed)

[technishawn]

it would be cool to also see a setting for an automatic alert when someone logs in/out of the forum

[LPH2004]

I see an image in the zip with a "Who is online" -- is this a future feature or did I miss a setting?

[VonDoom]

That pic is just showing that the shuotbox is recognized in whos online, from the whats going on area.

[bart6767]

Anyone know why i cant see ths in forumhome ?

"<!-- main -->"

Im useing RC2 ?

[technishawn]

Is your forumhome template modified or is it just standard?

[technishawn]

You should see a section that looks like this:


<!-- main -->
<ol id="forums" class="floatcontainer">
{vb:raw forumbits}
</ol>
<!-- /main -->

[bart6767]

Ok got it to work .

Thanks for the help .

[bart6767]

How do you prune mgs ? and edit them as i cant see anywhere to do that ?

[MyChemicalSelf]

/prune to prune them and double click the message to edit

[bart6767]

/prune to prune them and double click the message to edit

Nice one and thanks again .

[bart6767]

What about an auto /prune after so many mgs ?

Could this be done .

Another suggestion:
change in the GCBOS template<span style="float:right; padding-right:20px"><a href="#" onclick="gcbos.modifyHeight(-25);return false;">-</a><a href="#" onclick="gcbos.setHeight(175);return false;">/</a><a href="#" onclick="gcbos.modifyHeight(25);return false;">+</a></span>


to
<span style="float:right; padding-right:20px"><a style="color: {vb:stylevar forumbits_aForum};" href="#" onclick="gcbos.modifyHeight(-25);return false;">-</a> <a style="color: {vb:stylevar forumbits_aForum};" href="#" onclick="gcbos.setHeight(175);return false;">/</a> <a style="color: {vb:stylevar forumbits_aForum};" href="#" onclick="gcbos.modifyHeight(25);return false;">+</a></span>


Makes the -/+ the same colour as the forum title not the general link colour and puts a space in between the three characters to make them easier to click.

[macc]

<script src="clientscript/gcbos.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

when i put this code in my headinclude template .. chatbox works with mod "who has visited today - last version" ... no loading ..loading more ...

will just inform for developer ...

Thanks for the suggestions :) im currently having issues with vB4 RC2 on IIS7 so i hope to actually get something done tomorrow.

Oh btw i have 'Notifications on new thread' working but it currently doesn't not filter forums and can not be disabled, this will be added in the near future.

Also anyone using PHP 5.3+ who wishes to apply for a beta program please contact me. As i hope to iron out all of the current bugs before releasing 0.7

[Darkimmortal]

Just an fyi - the name and the focus on explaining commands made me think this wasn't actually a chat box at all. You'd probably get a wider install base if it was clearer that it works as a simple shout/chat box :)

[Anseur]

One smell suggestion, you have the background set to use the same CSS as whatever the forum's forum-row is set to. This is fine except if you are using a texture for the forum row, as the CSS for the forum row does not currently have the repeat attribute, therefore depending on the texture used the background of the chat box can be half texture and half color. And of course as the chatbox can be made bigger sooner or later the user will see the gap however big the texture used is.

I fixed this on my forum by just adding the repeat to the forum-row CSS, but you could perhaps at this to that div it's self to avoid this cropping up for your installers.

lol I have to be honest, I can live without all the extras, I just wanted a simple chat box with a couple of commands but I guess a lot of people like all the extras (till their forum gets much bigger lol).

[dale09]

can anyone help with adding this to the CMS and while your viewing threads and posts?

[MyChemicalSelf]

can anyone help with adding this to the CMS and while your viewing threads and posts?

Currently that would require a custom hook, however in GCBOS 0.7 you just need to insert <!-- {SHOUTBOX} --> where ever you want it to display. For example hooks take a look at the plugin's Display: forumhome etc that are installed by default.


Oh the current release should work fine with RC4 :)

[TheMayhem]

In .7 did you make it so that the date format can either be customized or isn't reliant on military time display?
